    No, that was his brother. Rob Ford was mayor of Toronto and died a few years back.

    Doug Ford is his brother who used Rob’s popularity and name to propel himself to premiership.

              I don’t understand why elections don’t have quorums. My condo can’t do something obvious (fix AC chiller) without having enough owners agree, yet we can be governed by a party that gets a majority after most voters actually sat out with the attitude, “they all suck.”

              If a quorum isn’t met in an election, all candidates for that riding should be barred from running again, and a new election should be called.

                I love that we have a perfect analogy to help drive home the point the next time a Party whines it would make it to hard to win or whatever the fuck is holding us up yet
